The Aeronca Sedan is an unusual type, possibly only two in Europe?

L18C.
What the Sedan really is an unusual underestimated STOL airplane. The wing is huge with ALOT of lift. The original engine is not enough considering the size of the cabin.(Its bigger than a C185!).
A not well known fact was some of them were fitted with 0300 engines with hollow crankshafts and Macauley made a long " Two Position"
Prop" for that engine that allowed the 0300 to develope Full RPM/ Power for T/O that was a huge advantage over the standard much shorter fixed pitch.
A lightly loaded Sedan with the "two position prop" was a great STOL improvement for T/O; and after you leveled off you had the option of moving into full pitch, the system did not have a govener, so it wasnt actually a "constant speed". Had Aeronca had 0360 engines to install in
them originally their sales would have been thousands vs hundreds. Great old airplane. Saw one land once and 9 bodys got out of it!
this what that prop looks like.

Watching the ice form yesterday. North Long, Round and smaller lakes froze over. Gull, Hubert and parts of Pelican still open. Lots of Buffleheads and Swans about.

One of Debbie's friends wanted a lake tour.

BTV and I beat up our backyard last weekend. This was one of our better trips to the canyon....
....and the last shot is the peckerhead waving as he left a spot that both of us wondered if we could get out of.

Lakes patrol on Sunday afternoon:
Yesterday not a great weather day, but flew my new to me 90hp J-3 with my 6-4 son who was able to get himself into the front seat. Ive looked that position over, but haven't attempted for fear I would need the assistance of a rescue squad to extract me. soloed an 85 J-3 on 22 August 1965 and hadn't been in one since may of 1966. Fun:lol:

I like it too!
That white paint ruins the look though....
gotta carry the two-tone chromate finish up onto the tail !
That cornfield strip looks pretty cool too.

Andy didn't want to waste time and money on paint. 8) Nice panel and Franklin 6A-350 motor! His son Joe has Lucky Rose, the painted sister ship.

I was flying along,minding my own business, when I noticed what at first I thought was a straight tail 182. From a mile away it looked odd for a Cessna.
So I landed to check out this one of a kind plane.
Last one ever built and the only trike / turbine one built. 1984 build year.

Sounds like it’s going to be a tailwheel soon

It looks authentic. Wether it’s “distressed” leather or “holey” designer jeans, very few things are that. The best part nobody’s mentioned are the Sharpie tail #s.

I saw that on amphib floats at a Cranland breakfast last year. It had a bad shimmy with the nose wheel on take off which needed attention. I heard that it is based in PLY?

Tony and I hit some bars Sunday morning with the Bad LandsTraveler and then met up with Eddie in his Carbon Cub with Larry Vetterman in tow in his freshly completed Javron Cub. My camera phone is on the frits so the only pictures is one somebody texted me of Tony. That BadLandsTraveler with it's 172 wing is an interesting airplane and as usual Larry made some neat inovations on his new Javron.

It is based at PYM.
You gave the pilot his float training. Can not recall his name. The pilot / owner grew up near Canton Airport. His dad worked in twin B conversions and or at Helio.

You know how bad I feel about accidentally scaring deer away from those feeders that have been spewing corn twice a day for the last two months, only twenty yards from the deer stands.
